Caribbean Hotel of the Year: British Colonial Nassau
Nassau Harbour’s classic hotel celebrated its 100th birthday this year — but after a $100 million renovation, the newly-relaunched British Colonial is practically a brand-new hotel. When we stayed here after the reopening, what was striking was just how exquisitely the property managed to preserve its historic charm while catering to the needs of today’s traveler. From the always-beautiful beach to one of the world’s great hotel lobbies, the British Colonial isn’t just a gem of a Caribbean hotel; it’s also a symbol of the continued renaissance of downtown Nassau — a movement that has turned this corner of the Bahamian capital into a new level of destination.
